Its basically a sock bun, except done a bit differently (the different part seem a bit unnecessary to me since its being covered up anyways), but then instead of braiding whatever is left over there are lots and lots of pin curls. I think that could look really pretty if done right. I'm moving and all my hair stuff is packed away, but maybe I'll try it when I'm done.

Ooh, I like that. What an interesting technique, to band each strand in the middle and fluff it out a bit.

I must be a complete moron. I was so lost after 'divide ponytail into six sections'.

But, I did love the look, I wish I could do it!

Gothic Lolita It looks like you do a regular sock bun, but instead of just spreading it all over evenly take that and divide it into 5 parts, with an elastic just below where the hair would end. Then take that part and fluff it out a little, pull out to make it bigger. I think they use a comb and some hairspray to. Then take the tail of each five sections and make pincurls.

I love the look of that, but kinda confused how exactly to do it.

Now that I've watched it again, it looks like there are a lot more curls showing at the end that are not explained in the video. Since you hide all the ends, where did the curl come from?

I love that at one point there are three hands on display.

You actually have to have an extra arm or two to be able to do this!!!!

I wouldn't do this, it looks a bit unhairfriendly pulling the strands back through the band to fluff it.

I LOVE the Sharon Blaine videos.

I like a slightly overdone, elaborate, retro updo for days when I'm going to be out and about. They are interesting and make me feel polished.

I started by looking at Fox's directions for retro updos on the Long Hair Loom and have played with it from there. http://www.network54.com/Forum/242462/message/1047267071/Retro+Twist

This is interesting. I tried the up do that started this thread, but it looked nothing like the photo. Using the technique for one strand of hair from this site that MissTwist posted (pinning the end of the segment as loops), I think maybe it would come closer if I did that with each of the strands, instead of totally hiding them.
